blue is clicky, not tactile, in terms of labeling (yes it does have tactile feedback). brown would be considered tactile.

-red/linear switches do not have a tactile nor sound feedback when it actuates.
-brown/tactile switches have a slight tactile feedback (you can feel when it actuates)
-blue/clicky switches gives both tactile & sound feedback.

other color switches are generally a variation of these. for example, mx black keys are linear keys with a higher actuation force than reds.

none of the switches are what i would consider appropriate for a quiet office, but blue would generally be the loudest. you could also absorb some sound by using O-rings (not all O-rings work on all keyboards).

i agree that it comes down to personal preference. try them out in person (bring a hand sanitizer).

I'm having the same issue. Only 8 lights are on and can't figure out why the others aren't.

They make some good keyboards. I bought one for my son a few years ago and still no issues.

It just worked for me, but it will work for only for Blue switched (not for Red); If you really want the Red, you will end up paying $50

I had an Aukey RGB Keyboard for about a year before one of the switches stopped working. I really liked the keyboard, had blue switches as well, but had per-key RGB settings (wish this one did). While the keyboard didn't last very long, customer services was amazing and refunded my order. They have a two-year warranty, that alone would make me order another in a heartbeat if they brought back the per-key lighting keyboards.
